Man sought in Victorville nightclub killing

Sheriff's investigators are looking for an unknown man they believe was involved in the Thursday night shooting death of a security guard outside a Victorville nightclub.

Deputies received a call at 11:41 p.m. reporting a man shot in front of Teazers Nightclub at 14269 Seventh St. They learned that Sean Thrift, 29, of Adelanto, was working as a security guard at the club's entrance.

An unknown man approached Thrift and shot him several times before fleeing the scene.
